Book giveaway: The Woman in the Picture

The page-turning sequel to The Crimson Rooms, by bestselling author Katharine McMahon, who also penned Richard & Judy Book Club pick The Rose of
Sebastopol.

London, 1926. Evie Gifford, one of the first female lawyers in Britain,
is not a woman who lets convention get in her way. She has left her
family home following a devastating love affair, much to her mother's
disapproval.

London is tense in the days leading up to the General Strike and Evelyn
throws herself into two very different cases - one involving a family
with links to the unions, and the other a rich man who claims not to be
the father of his wife's child.

Evie is confronting the hardest
challenge of her career when she is faced with an unexpected proposal -
just as her former lover returns. How can she possibly choose between security with a man she admires and
passion for the man who betrayed her?

Praise for The
Woman in the Picture

'McMahon is the mistress of telling contrasts and
of charged, passionate and beautifully crafted prose.' Wendy
Holden, Daily Mail

'The roaring 20s are brought fizzingly to life in Katharine McMahon's
The Woman in the Picture. This elegant story about a feisty young woman
torn between head and heart is absorbing and atmospheric.' Good
Housekeeping

'This novel's skilfully crafted atmosphere draws the reader in from the
first page, and the protagonist's compassion for the people she defends
is impressive. The cases she becomes embroiled in are interesting, but
the love story is the most gripping part. McMahon is a talented writer
whose twists will keep you turning pages.' The Lady
